Let's divide 881691 by 72
We're looking to find how many times 72 goes into 881691.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 72 fits into 8 0 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 8 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 72

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 72 fits into 88 1 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 72 from 88.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 161 / 72

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 161 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 17.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 17 after subtracting 144 from 161.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 176 / 72

Step 4:
If we divide 176 by 72, we get 2 and a remainder of 32.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 122.0
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 144 from 176.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 32 and repeat the process: 329 / 72

Step 5:
329 divided by 72 is 4 with a remainder of 41.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1224.0
Deduct 288 from 329 and we're left with 41.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 41 and continue with: 411 / 72

Step 6:
When dividing 411 by 72, we get 5 with a remainder of 51.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12245.0
Subtracting 360 from 411 leaves us with 51.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 510, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
72 goes into 510 7 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12245.7
Deduct 504 from 510 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
60 divided by 72 is 0 with a remainder of 60.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12245.7
Deduct 0 from 60 and we're left with 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 600, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 72 fits into 600 8 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12245.708
Deduct 576 from 600 and we're left with 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 240 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12245.7083
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 240 by 72, we get 3 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12245.70833
Subtract 216 from 240 to get 24.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Our division results in 12245.70833 with a remaining 2.4e-05.
